INTRODUCTION
This chapter includes the different aspects that were considered in making the feasibility study. The proposed location of the business was also shown in this chapter.

Background of the study

Bread is one of the staple food of man, it is made of flour, liquid, salt, leavening , shortening and other ingredients. Bread comes in many sizes and shapes, each one with its own name, aroma, flavour and level of quality.

Cashew (Anacardium Occidentale) is called Kasoy or Balubad in Tagalog or Bologo in Ilokano. It is originated from the north-eastern Brazil and was brought to the Philippines in the 17th Century. The cashew plant is an evergreen tree that grows up to 12 meters tall, with a dome-shaped crown or canopy bearing the foliage on the outside, where flowers and fruits are found. The fruit has a kidney-shaped nut, about 3 cm x 1.2 cm attached to a much enlarged and swollen pedicel or receptacle forming the fruit-like cashew apple.

Cashew/Kasuy is one of the most important nut crop in the Philippines and the third most important nut in the world after almond and hazelnut. Traditionally, only the nut is given attention by cashew growers as it commands a good demand in the market among domestic consumers. It is a versatile crop with many economic uses in the food industry as food and feed. The cashew nut is a popular snack, and has rich flavour means that it is often eaten on its own, lightly salted or sugared, or covered in chocolate.

Under Food and Non-alcoholic Beverages Division, bread and cereals has the highest expenditure share at 12.4 percent. The commodities most commonly purchased by households belonging to Bread and Cereals Class are rice, corn, flour, cereal preparations like bibingka, puto, sumang malagkit, pancit canton, biko, bread and other bakery products like loaf, pandesal, biscuit, cracker, monay, and pasta products like macaroni, spaghetti, sotanghon, bihon, miki; this is according to the 2007-2008 Commodity and Outlet Survey.

The target market of the proposed study was the residents of the city of Antipolo. The cityhood marked the beginning of the period of Antipolo’s greatest growth and development. From being just one of the many municipalities of Rizal Province, Antipolo has become one of the fastest growing cities in the country with an annual income and population that rivals the combined income and population of all the other towns in Rizal.

When people think of Antipolo City, the first thing that comes to mind was the Our Lady of Voyage, kasuy, suman and kakanin. The researchers aim to create a new product for the people of Antipolo using one of its main delicacies, kasuy. And since cashew nut was easily found in the market of Antipolo City, the researcher proposed a new presentation of the consumption of cashew nut (Kasuy) in the form of bread. Not only having the regular vitamins and minerals that cashew nut can offer but in addition the benefits that bread provide to maintain a good and healthy body. They want to produce a product that can be both healthy and consumable at the same time. The residents of Antipolo have not yet heard of the product, the CASHEW BREAD, thus making them interested in consuming such.

And since the Cashew Bread is not the typical bread, it does not only contain carbohydrates or fibres it also contains vitamins that can be found in a cashew nut. Cashew nuts have oleic acid that promotes good cardiovascular health that is good to people especially those with diabetic and heart problems.

Some basic yeast bread recipes are enhanced with other ingredients that change the characteristics of the bread...

What is FeasibilityStudy?
Feasibilitystudy is an analysis of the viability of an idea. The feasibilitystudy is an evaluation and analysis of the potential of a proposed project. It is based on extensive investigation and research to support the process of decision making.
When to do a study?
The decision to conduct a feasibilitystudy should not be taken lightly. It is an expensive and time consuming process. However, not doing a feasibility analysis can be even more expensive in terms of the poor decisions you may make from not conducting the proper analysis. To help you understand when to conduct a feasibilitystudy, you may want to review Information File C5-02, Idea Assessment and Business Development Process.
You need to be far enough along in the deliberation process of your business idea to make the best use of a feasibilitystudy. So you need to have a clearly defined outline of one or more alternative business models or scenarios that you want to explore. And you want to have conducted sufficient initial investigation of these alternatives to determine if they have the potential of being viable. You...

...﻿Related StudyBreadstudy shows one in four loaves salty as packet of crisps
One in every four loaves of bread sold in the UK high street contain as much salt in every slice as a packet of crisps, according to research published on Friday.
The worst offenders are those perceived to be healthier options – brown loaves packed with seeds and mixed grains, and artisan breads from upmarket bakery chains.
The research was carried out by the health group Cash (Consensus Action on Salt & Health), which analysed 294 fresh and packaged loaves from supermarkets and their in-store bakeries, and from chain and independent shops. Researchers examined the salt content of 100g of bread – equivalent to two thick slices – and found huge variations.
More than a quarter of loaves (28%) contained as much salt per slice as a packet of crisps.
Cash said consumers were unwittingly eating too much salt, and were let down by the absence of nutritional labels on supermarkets' in-store bread, which made it impossible for them to make healthier choices.
A brown pain de campagne loaf made by London bakery Paul was singled out as by far the saltiest, containing 2.83g of salt per 100g – a higher salt concentration than seawater.
Its white pain ancien and brown pain complet were the next highest in salt content of the bakery breads (1.85g and 1.43g of salt per 100g) while Le Pain...

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Introduction
Nowadays, sicknesses transported by mosquitoes are very dangerous on this planet. Even when most of these diseases threaten populations in other countries where there's a much larger density of mosquito population, you still have to end up being watchful. There are still mosquitoes in your neighbourhood and they could very well be holding fatal diseases.
Insect bites can be bothersome. They can be very itchy which leads to constant scratching which may eventually result to secondary bacterial infection, hyper pigmentation and scarring. The usual remedy is to put a steroid cream to lessen the redness and itchiness. Steroids have anti-inflammatory effects. They are effective in treating insect bites but prolonged use may cause adverse effects like hypo pigmentation, skin atrophy and many others.
People use ointments for a variety of reasons, such as soothing pain and oftentimes to medicate themselves. These days ointments are chiefly for medicinal use - just the thing for rubbing on that nasty rash.
Currently, commercial ointment is so expensive and many people have no money to buy it. Our country is in crises today, so we must think of a better alternative for a much cheaper medicine.
The proponents have come up with another alternative to treat insect bites and that is the application of Alagau ointment. The purpose of alagau ointment is to provide immediate relief for itching and pain. It also...

Carbonated Drinks
I. Introduction
An effervescent drink that releases carbon dioxide under conditions of normal atmospheric pressure. Carbonation may occur naturally in spring water that has absorbed carbon dioxide at high pressures underground. It can also be a byproduct of fermentation, such as beer and some wines. Many curative properties have been attributed to effervescent waters (e.g., aiding digestion and calming nerves), but few have been scientifically tested. The term seltzer once referred to the effervescent mineral water obtained from the natural springs near the village of Niederseltsers in SW Germany. Today, however, seltzer is simply well-filtered tap water with artificially added carbonation. Club soda is also artificially carbonated but contains other additives as well, including sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, sodium citrate, and sometimes light flavoring. Artificial carbonation was first introduced in 1767 by an Englishman, Joseph Priestley, and was commercialized in 1807 by Benjamin Silliman, a Yale Univ. chemistry professor, who bottled and sold seltzer water. After 1830, sweetened and flavored (lemon-lime, grape, orange) carbonated drinks became popular. In 1838, Eugene Roussel added a "soda counter" to his Philadelphia shop; by 1891, New York City had more soda fountains than bars. In 1886, John S. Pemberton, an Atlanta druggist seeking a headache and hangover...
